According to him, in order to assimilate to the french culture, you should change your opinions on colonialism and atrocities that france committed, because france welcomed you and thats what "good" immigrants should think. Ah and also you should change your name to a more christian sounding one.
>Eric Zemmour has promised to ban non-French first names like Mohammed, saying that Arab first names and other aspects of Arab culture are making French society less French
What he said in the debate: "Quand on vit en France et qu'on est Français, on doit changer son point de vue et on doit voir. Quand le général Bugeaud arrive en Algérie, il commence à massacrer les musulmans, et même certains juifs. Et bien moi je suis aujourd'hui du côté du général Bugeaud. C'est ça être français !"

Good summary of the issue. http://www.thepolemicist.net/2021/09/danger-to-society-against-vaccine.html
Is having a polemic view the same as holding an extreme position over an issue?
Paul Joseph Watson (PJW) tweeted something quite interesting today 7th December 2019. He is basically calling stupid anyone in the Western world who gets a vasectomy and chooses not to have children.
The answers to his tweet are even more interesting. A Twitter user wrote that it's "sad that our bloodline will die with us". Another one said that we will eventually ask for state-financed healthcare for elders, meaning financed by the children of other people - and so on.
I get it that PJW and his followers are ultra conservative when it comes to the notion of "family". However I wonder if they realise that the middle class has been shrinking consistently since the 1980s and that's very unlikely that their kids will be able to support them in 30-40 years from now, let alone support themselves. And that's without mentioning climate change which PJW and many of his followers also deny. However I get his point that this trend is changing society's landscape with white people slowly disappearing vs African and Middle Eastern populations growing. Note that I'm mixed race 1/2 Black and 1/2 White, so no attacks on me please!
Don't get me wrong. I'd say that I agree with many things PJW says, especially the issues surrounding free speech these days. However this one is just pure ignorance, in my opinion.
In the meantime, I'm working hard now and I will have friends and possibly robots to help me when I'm old and dying. I won't need help from other people's children, and if I ever do, euthanasia remains an option. That said, given how messed up our world is, I doubt I will ever reach the age of 70. So I might as well enjoy the next 30 years spending my money on travels, good restaurants and spa massages, spoiling the people I love, and on everything else people with kids deem "frivolous".
Edit: if you are a racist (Black or White) planning to make this thread about race, please move along. I mentioned race ONLY to give some context about PJW for those who don't know the guy. NOT to start a debate on race.
Edit 2: if you are a Black American, sorry I can't relate to your life. So, no need to attack me for not sharing your views. I'm a mixed race woman who grew up in Europe, surrounded by amazing and loving black people and white people, who are all colour blind. We are not race obsessed in Europe...
TL;DR: British polemicist and his followers believe that we are destroying Western society by not having children. I believe that our world as we know it will
... keep reading on reddit ➡If you call him out for what he said in his most recent video, he makes 10 posts boasting about being unapologetic. He's been involved in too many polemics to mention in one post yet never had he shown remorse or been apologetic. I really do wonder if the man even feels emotions at all at this point.
